teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[sparkychan]

Picked up a NES Advantage stick this weekend. Cleaned and polished it from the inside and out. Looks good, I think.



A packaged arrive for me today as well with some goodies including a PC Engine Core Grafx! Also included in the box was a Fool coin box (from Magical Drop series), a Dragon Ranger figure, and Avenue 6 joypad.

A couple things showed up at my door today:

Sold my iPad 1 and bought a Kindle Fire HD (7in version). It's a great tablet. Was looking to downsize anyway. Has dual stereo speakers and the screen is better than the Nexus 7 (other one I was looking at). Don't really care much for the Amazon Kindle interface, but it'll do.

More additions to the tamagotchi stuff.  Mp3 player and the sega saturn game.


also had to grab  this Tibetan singing bowl since it looks amazing.

I picked up a 161 in 1 MVS Cart.  Bought it from Holland Computers.  That place is amazing.  They are in Ohio not that far from Arkhan land.  Was $95 with free shipping.  Cheaper than anywhere else I could find with combined shipping.  Ordered it Monday and got it on Wednessday.  Yeah it's not a legit cart, but it's crazy awesome!  There are a lot of hacks, but I actually like the SNK VS Capcom Plus.  It's nice being able to use the bosses from the get go.  Only non-working game is Aero Fighters 3, but I knew that before I bought it.  There's still some games I need to buy though since some good ones are still missing.

Most of you guys already have this one, but it's new to me.  It's in super shape.  Looks like it was sitting in the back room of a Radio Shack for 20 years.

Ah, i see you picked up a copy, Fifty. Played it yet? Let me know how it is, as I have been having too much fun with Ys 4 to try that one yet

Sim Earth is great. It's underrated because: 1) for a SCD, it's not visually impressive, 2) the computer interface doesn't translate well to a control pad, 3) it came out kind of a late (SNES already had Sim Earth and Sim City), 4) it hasn't aged as well as Sim City, 5) the save file eats a whole memory bank.

I still love it.

I picked up:
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
Dungeon Keeper 2
Populous
Syndicate
Wing Commander 1 & 2
Ultima 1+2+3
Ultima 4+5+6

...and as an added bonus I found out I picked up the original Fallout awhile ago from gog.com and forgot to install it.  Man, I haven't played these games in ages.  Now I'm totally sucked back into Alpha Centauri.

Wow. I may shell out the $2.50 for Ultima 7 rather than attempt to dosbox and patch it.

Another Bimmer freebee that I got a while ago. Finally got it to boot, but it needs some sound caps still.
